Bird Flu Parallels to COVID and the Battle for Election Integrity

The Kim Monson Show examined two urgent threats to American liberty as Dr. Sina McCullough of the Epoch Times exposed troubling parallels between bird flu responses and COVID-era overreach, while former State Senator Kevin Lundberg detailed how DOGE revelations about Social Security fraud mirror Colorado’s own bloated voter registration systems.

DOGE Uncovers Massive Government Database Irregularities

Start listening at 17:48 – Hour 1

Kevin Lundberg analyzed the Epoch Times report revealing that Social Security databases list over 12 million people older than 120 as eligible for benefits. While Elon Musk’s DOGE team exposed these irregularities within two weeks of President Trump’s inauguration, the Social Security Administration had allowed such data rot to persist for decades. Lundberg noted this reflects the entrenched bureaucratic mentality that prizes process over production.

“Yeah, well, Elon Musk is bringing a new work ethic to the federal government.”

Colorado’s Voter Registration System Under Scrutiny

Start listening at 31:24 – Hour 1

Lundberg connected federal database failures to Colorado’s own election administration problems. Judicial Watch sued Colorado’s Secretary of State over voter registration accuracy, revealing patterns similar to their successful lawsuit against Los Angeles County. In 2013, when Colorado established all-mail ballots through House Bill 13-1303, legislators intentionally moved 300,000 names from inactive to active status, ensuring ballots would be mailed to addresses where voters likely no longer resided.

A constituent demonstrated the weakness of signature verification by consistently signing his ballot with his left hand despite being right-handed. The system accepted every such ballot. Automatic voter registration compounds the problem by pulling names from every state agency database without adequate citizenship verification.

“And so it’s very obvious this is an ugly, ugly system.”

Senate Bill 003 Assault on Second Amendment

Start listening at 52:33 – Hour 1

The conversation turned to Senate Bill 003, the semi-automatic firearms bill that Senate President Coleman designated as a high-priority measure. Lundberg reported that recent amendments made the bill worse, not better, by adding a long list of specific firearms commonly used for hunting and self-defense to the ban. The legislation represents a direct assault on both the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment and Colorado’s Bill of Rights, which states the right to own and bear arms shall not be questioned.

Presidential Leadership Through History

Start listening at 64:31 – Hour 1

Jon Boesen of Boesen Law reflected on Presidents Day by connecting the leadership qualities of Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan to the current moment. Washington led the Continental Army against the greatest fighting force of his era through courage, boldness, and wisdom. Lincoln navigated the nation’s most divisive period while maintaining his commitment to the cause of ending slavery. Jon noted that throughout American history, great leaders have emerged precisely when the country needed them most.

“Great men, great leaders, great Americans that came to the forefront, that did what needed to be done when it needed to be done at a time when the country was struggling and needed that great leadership.”

Bird Flu Response Mirrors COVID Playbook

Start listening at 74:26 – Hour 2

Dr. Sina McCullough provided a comprehensive analysis of the bird flu situation. Since 2022, authorities have killed approximately 157 million birds, yet only a fraction actually tested positive for H5N1. When one bird in a flock tests positive, the entire flock is culled. This approach has driven egg prices up 53 percent year-over-year while failing to contain the outbreak. The same PCR testing methodology criticized during COVID is being employed with similarly questionable cycle thresholds.

“And I want to point out from the top, that doesn’t mean that all these millions of birds have tested positive for the bird flu. That could mean in an entire flock, one bird tested positive, and then they culled or killed the entire flock.”

Natural Immunity Ignored in Favor of Mass Vaccination

Start listening at 82:32 – Hour 2

Dr. McCullough challenged the fundamental logic of current culling policies. By killing survivors alongside infected birds, authorities eliminate the very animals whose immune systems successfully fought the virus. Traditional animal husbandry prioritized breeding from survivors to pass natural immunity to future generations. Instead, the USDA has now issued a conditional license to Zoetis for an avian flu vaccine while HHS granted Moderna $590 million for human mRNA bird flu vaccines.

“I mean, that to me, you know, as a researcher and a scientist, that makes no sense to me at all, because those surviving birds have developed that natural immunity. We should be harnessing that natural immunity rather than instead of like working out of fear and just trying to kill everything that has potentially been exposed to it.”

Gain-of-Function Research and Lab Leak Evidence

Start listening at 96:42 – Hour 2

Dr. McCullough presented evidence suggesting possible lab origins for the current H5N1 strain. The first human infection occurred in Hong Kong in 1997 at a facility where scientists were studying bird flu samples containing genetic traces of a 1983 Pennsylvania virus. Documented lab incidents include a 2013 needle stick at the University of Wisconsin and a 2014 CDC cross-contamination event that sent highly pathogenic samples to an unprepared USDA lab. These incidents preceded the 2014 moratorium on gain-of-function research funding.

“My final thought is, you know, Joel and I always say, let’s have faith over fear. You know, be informed, be educated, and make those informed decisions that, you know, that are led by God and that resonate with you.”
